ASSOCIATE PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS Return on Your Investment Thanks to all who participated in the Fall Outing this past week at Wynlakes Golf & Country Club in Montgomery and Great Southern Outdoors in Union Springs. I think the event was a huge success. If you did not attend, it is my hope you will make every effort to attend next year. Our association needs your participation in this event to raise money for our PAC. I believe this is one of the most important assets of this association. Geoff Smith Chairman, P&CMA Associate Board Regulatory and legislative alerts sent out to membership • Fulltime staff and legal representation available to you • Membership directory and buyers guide • Annual convention • Food and Fuel Expo • As I write this article, football season is in full swing. Both Auburn and Alabama are undefeated and the future looks good for both teams. Football has always been a subject in this state that people can relate to. How can we relate football to our business? How can your company go undefeated this year? What motivates you to be the very best you can be? These are great questions. I don't have all the answers. I do think one of the keys in running your business is taking advantage of all the membership benefits that the P&CMA offers you. • Weekly newsletter and quarterly magazine It is my hope that you will take advantage of what this association can do for you. I think you can relate this association to friendship. With friends, you usually get out of it what you put in them. Having friends take an investment of time. I think your association is the same. If you don't invest your time, you will not see any return. I hope your companies go undefeated not only this year, but in many years to come. Sincerely Please let me remind you of some (not all) of the benefits of the P&CMA. • 8 Oil Prophets State and Federal representation through lobbying efforts in Washington and Montgomery Geoff Smith Chairman, P&CMA Associate Board
